Chopin
A visitor to Szafarnia, in his early teens, was Frédéric Chopin, who was a guest of Juliusz Dziewanowski, father of Chopin's schoolmate Dominik Dziewanowski. The manor where Chopin stayed during his summer vacations in 1824 and 1825, has been turned into a museum. It was here that young Chopin wrote his famous Kuriery Szafarskie (Szafarnia Couriers) spoofing the Warsaw newspapers.

“I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.”
